The Hidden Village is a location in Twilight Princess. It is located in the Eldin Province, north of the Bridge of Eldin.[1] Prior to the events in Twilight Princess, the Hidden Village served as the secret home to the Sheikah tribe; however, due to the prolonged wars, the tribe dwindled and the town fell into decline, becoming infested with Bulblins and leaving only one resident, Impaz.[2][3][4]

Twilight Princess
Early in Link's quest, entry into the village is blocked off due to a rockslide that happened long ago.[5] After Link shows the Wooden Statue to Ilia, she remembers that someone saved her from monsters and is still in danger. Gor Coron recalls where he has seen the Wooden Statue before, which leads Link to the Hidden Village.[2] Link goes there to rescue the one who helped Ilia with the aid of Darbus, who breaks through the rocks to clear the young hero's path path. When Link first visits the town, it is infested by 20 Bulblins, all of which he must slay in order to rescue Ilia's helper.[6] The only other resident of the village, named Impaz, comes out of her home after Link slays every single one of the beasts. Thanking the young hero for his help in defeating the Bulblins, she hands Link the Horse Call, which is an item Ilia gave to Impaz before escaping the Hidden Village.[7]
Shortly after Ilia recovers her memory with the aid of the Horse Call, Link returns to the Hidden Village and shows the Dominion Rod to Impaz. The old woman recognizes the rod upon seeing it and gives the young hero the Ancient Sky Book, which is only to be carried by the messenger to the heavens.[8] It is with the help of this book that Link eventually reaches the City in the Sky.
Most of the buildings in the village were abandoned and ruined by the Bulblins, and as such, only Impaz's house is still fit for residence. Impaz's house is also home to several cats that she takes care of. In the backyard of one of the abandoned buildings, Link can find a Howling Stone as well as a Cucco who asks Link, in wolf form, to play a game with the cats in exchange for a Piece of Heart. The various stray felines wandering the village will play the mini-game with Wolf Link where he has to talk to each individual cat at least once.
Link's Crossbow Training
Ambiguously Canon Content | hide |
The Hidden Village appears in Stage 5 of Link's Crossbow Training as a Ranger Mode Bulblin hunt/shoot-out. Link freely moves through the village to kill the 25 Bulblins. Most of the Bulblins are found in clusters and shoot flaming arrows as soon as they see Link. Several explosive barrels can be found, which when hit, destroy everything within their vicinity. Slaying all 25 Bulblins will add a multiplier of the remaining time to the score.
Theory Warning | hide |
It is heavily implied that this village is an older Kakariko Village, the ancient village of the Sheikah,[9] mostly due to a sign saying "Welcome to Old Kakarico" in Hylian (with a spelling different from the correct English one). Impa from Ocarina of Time was born and raised in Ocarina of Time's Kakariko Village, whereas the Hidden Village was implied to have been built by her.[10]
- Hidden Village shares a connection with Old Kasuto, which is also a ghost town with a single resident.
- Throughout the village, several posters can be found that say the word "Wanted" written in Hyrulean text. The posters have a drawing of an unknown man with a mustache and goatee, along with an apparent reward of 1,000,000,000,000,000 (one quadrillion) Rupees.
- The village also resembles a classic ghost town from a Western film. The music resembles the score by Ennio Morricone for the classic Western films A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.
- The music that plays in the Hidden Village is featured as a track in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on the Bridge of Eldin stage.

I blog often and I truly thank you for your content. This article has really peaked my interest. I will book mark your blog and keep checking for new details about once per week. I opted in for your RSS feed as well.| cpanel vps http://hpr1.com/member/595444/
Excellent blog! Thankyou.
Also if you do educate yourself please do some research and you will find out that the Native American Tribes in Mexico(Aztec, Mayan, etc.) were also enslaved and oppressed by the Spanish conquistadors. So yes my people also know about slavery.
@yepyep they are much more than typos, they are uneducated...let me explain..."my people have been here 400 yrs"(your quote)...America has only been around a little over 200 years, remember July 4th, 1776. "your people are of Spanish descent" another of your quotes this one is partially true, but we are also of Mayan, Aztec descent which are Indian Tribes native to North America so this would make us Native American. Your ancestry can be traced to Africa, not America so I believe that takes care of that argument. Yes North America includes Mexico as well. Now on to economics, you say if all of the illegals left which by all even the far right accounts are only about 14 million the deficit would be cut by half, considering there are 300 million that is only about 5 percent so there is no possible way that 5 percent of the population can affect 50 percent of the deficit. The saddest part of this is that you do your ancestors an injustice by not taking advantage of their struggles. You should really take advantage of the opportunities that this country gives you and EDUCATE yourself. Slavery was not only a physical oppression but also a mental one I can see you are still being oppressed.
This is America's history. The history of the America's include the people who were here before the US took the land by force in a preemptive war that was soley to take the territory from Mexico.Texas was taken by the heroes of the Alamo so they could have slaves. Mexico had outlawed slavery. I suppose the next thing that will be removed from history books for students.
Don't you think that students in America should be learning American History? There are many classes that teach world history as well, or create a special class that focuses on the latino perspective for those interested. But American tax dollars need to be spent teaching American classes.
As a caucasian american all of this white bigotry is truly sad. Let these students, who are legal americans, learn their culture without calling them "stupid illegal druggies." Kumar, Kelly, etc. you're not representing America well by saying the things you're saying.
A lot of these comments are simply ridiculous. To say that teaching people about their history and culture (that has been, hitherto the 80's and 90's, pretty much been systemically looked over) is somehow inciting hate towards whites, or turning people against the American Government is completely ludicrous. The reason that schools do not want to teach these Mexican-Americans about their history is the same reason we are cautious about teaching women about birth control and good reproductive choices– or why school guidance counselors do not point GLBT youth toward organizations that may help them. Its because organization and organized thought gives us POWER. That is very scary to anyone feeling as though they are holding up this monolithic white power model.
Fight on youth. History shows you will be rewarded for your efforts.
Sentiments like yours acusing 100% of a people to be illegal is why they hate whites.
I agree that they should be taught American history.. I think they need to create a separete class as an additional history elective that teaches this specific topic. I do not think it right to spend tax dollars catering to any special group
Banning books and closing a successful Mexican American Studies program: How ironic is Arizona's oppression of Latinos who simply wish to learn of oppression?
....wow, talk about racism. Thank you for making the argument of why AZ made the correct call to review the materials.
Dear Spirit..
You seem to forget that the majority of hispanics that claim religion are Catholic! same Bible
Go back to Africa.
Why are you so Hostile? There is a thing called reverse racism... I think you exemplify it... I do not agree with what this school did with a sweeping overhaul in the middle of a school year, but every school needs to evaluate what is being taught and how tax dollars are being spent. Tax dollars for basic education should not be going toward specialty classes that cater to one group. History in American schools should be taught from the same perspective in every single school in the country. If they want to keep a class on hispanic history, fine.. make it an elective, not an alternative to learning the history of the country they want to be a part of!
If you knew anything about TUSD's history of racism toward Mexican-Americans, you'd understand why the Mexican-American perspective is being taught outside of the traditional American History perspective. TUSD was under a Desegregation court order (due to its racist past), and the district was found to have discriminated against Mexican-American students, holding them to lower standards than white students, and segregating them. A group of educators, not politicians- EDUCATORS- who learned history from multiple perspectives, designed the coursework that would become Mexican-American Studies. The idea was that if students felt respected, represented and valued, they would be inspired to work hard and learn– which is what happened until this successful program was dismantled. Most of us understand the reasons Republicans in the state of Arizona are afraid of educated Mexican-Americans who have learned the truths about American and Mexican American History. The problem was and still is that traditional American History painted/paints a biased picture of whites, Mexican-Americans, and every other group becuase it's presented from one main perspective- the Manifet Destiny Myth/perspective. You haters have been un/educated to FEAR anything different, which is exactly what's taking place now. ALL I have to say is SHAME on your IGNORANCE. And BTW, for those of you wanting a so-called "color blind" society; grow up! I can see your color and you can see mine. And I don't ever want a color-blind society; I want an intelligent, loving, accepting society. I want to see your color and mine too!!! The COLORS are not the problem–the ignorance is.
A person needs to educate himself first and earn a decent money so that way can open its mind to a more broad open subjects instead of blaming others for its miseries!!!!! Arizona is US indeed but with Spanish heritage
Send all blacks to their true continent AFRICA with the Anglo whites tax money :-))))))))))))))))
I'm an Anglo White.. can I be sent back to my ancestor's country too? I want to go to Norway.. That is where My people are from.. better education and healthcare system anyhow...
Where will you be returning to, Ivan? This could really shed some light on our "immigration problems." If all of us were to return to wherever our ancestors immigrated from, what would this country look like? The point is, Ivan-this is not your country, nor mine. It's OURS now, but only because our ancestors immigrated here; not because we risked our lives to immigrate here. We were just born here; we didn't do anything special. No, just becuase you say your special doesn't make it so. Yes, I'm serious. I know, I know you learned how special you are in school, and from your parents, but you were lied to. Yes, immigrants are here in America. Yes, this country is made up of immigrants. No you weren't "here first"; Natives were here first. Yes, you have to go if the Africans have to go. Yes, they have equal rights now. Don't cry; everything will be just fine. It's just that, you're not so special anymore. :)
So are Europeans, Asians and others let's just keep ALL people not American Indian out and send EVERYONE back to their Mother/Father Coutry.....that would work for me. I am American Indian and you Jose are NOT, so pack and lead the way back to wherever you're from.
Except for the fact that they've discovered pre NA Euro-caucasoid bones in different sections of North America. Look up Kennewick Man. Oh look, Injuns aren't "Native Americans" anymore.
Didn't you get shot in that third world homeland of yours? mexico right?
You lead the way, Jose. You have no more right to live here than any other human on the face of this planet who makes it here. Have you forgotten the history of this country? Or perhaps you've never learned it. Well, this country is made up of immigrants. Some people have no choice but to immigrate here, and that's why so many die trying. Have you ever risked your life for anything, Jose? And BTW, I couldn't help but notice your Mexican name–so when did your ancestors immigrate here? Before or after the Gadsen Purchase; before or after Mexico became part of the U.S.? Anyway, since you have more respect for some humans over others, apparently depending on their perceived status–then lead the way. Unless of course it's okay for you and yours to immigrate to this country, but not for "other Mexicans." And don't try to use that "I was born here argument." Someone is your family histroy was "ILLEGAL."
Pedro what slavery and what lynchings? I havent seen 1 report of Mexicans being lynched or put in slavery in the U.S. maybe in GOOD OL MEXICO, but if there are I will guarantee it's by the hand of some cartel member, not a true blue american. Now that I know Im not dealing with someone who lives in reality you made the stupidiest statement made by a Mexican, "Mexicans have suffered lynchings and slavery" you my friend have been drinking that water they tell everybody not to drink in Mexico. And this were I depart from this conversation with a little advice to Pedro there is help for a mentally insane Mexican. ADIDOS PEDRO
Indeed lynching was not common in Texas and New Mexico between 1848 right up to about the 1920's, there are many books and pictures about it. Slavery was banned in Mexico since 1813, long before than in the US and that was the reason of both the Texas War and the Mexican American War
You never learned about the enslavement and oppression of Mexicans because you've been un-educated. :) It's not your fault for now, but those who know better do better, and now you know better, so do better. Choose love not racism. Have you ever researched this topic? Just a thought. You might be suprised with what you discover.
Learn english that would be a start to become a American.
Mexicans dont know what racism is until your people go through what my people went through during slavery and the civil right era shut tha F U C K Up. What your people want is citizenship without going through the legal process. Follow tha LAW Pedro. This has nothing to do with racism. If you M U T H AS F U C K K A S would learn basic english, the taxpayer wouldnt have cough up tax dollars for billingual classes. Comprende.
they love the spotlight they are a bunch of disingenous black pieces of s h y t that dont give a d a m n about black people just look at what's happening to the black community it's disintegrating not because of the whiteman. The black community is being told they are victims and they cannot uplift themselves out of poverty because the playing field is not leveled. What a bunch of bullshyt by these slavetraders the plantation monkeys for the liberals. They dont give a damn about blacks or illegals it's a dog and pony show to appear concerned.
Ghost..... I have missed you. And you said that you were too busy to talk anymore, shame on you.. Are you spouting your racist gibberish on this thread now?? Have you let everyone know that you are an Ivy League graduate with two masters degrees so that they will think your posts are special?
Haaaaaa, I just read some more of your posts,, You have told everyone how special you are.. You are so predictable.. Love ya for it..
KELLY So now we have to hear you justify white racism in this blog, too? Anything to say about white racist radicals stopping Mexican-Americans from learning about the contributions of their ancestors in this country? No? I didn't think so, you are too preocupied with covering up your guilt and your hate. And here it is again, I am a Mexican-American with an Ivy League degree, working on my second master's degree, proud to defend my heritage and the rights of my fellow Mexican-Americans, and of any American who has to tolerate the racist bs you and your redneck buddies like to spew on these blogs. Happy now? Or would you like me to call you a bigot again.
ummmm guys during the time when blacks were slaves people also being use as slaves WHERE mexicans and orientals i should know im a junior in highschool we been studying civil rights more than ur racist time period did
Nah mexicans are too stupid. Only the smart ones come legalliy while the majority are stupid illeagal druggies. Who think they can come in here and demand rights despite breaking the law.
Kumar, learn to respect diversity. Especially as you have a non-anglo name. I do recall Kumar means youth in Sanskrit. Grow up.
he says mexico was more open minded twords youre people and you tell him to learn english........ -.- youre a ungratefrul racist brat and i hope youre kids are better than you
If you knew proper English, you would formulate your sentences correctly, and if you are going to tell antoher to "learn English," perhaps you should take your own advise first, so as not to seem hypocritical. Also, America is made up of immigrants, so English is not a requirement for living in this country, nor for posting comments online. Not all of us immigrated from England, ahem. Last but not least, for all of you who've jumped on the "Let's Hate Immigrants Bandwagon," I can assure you that your ancestors were immigrants, and so are some of you, I'm sure; so get off your high horses. They (your ancestors) came here without any rights to this land, other than their fabricated fantasy of it having been "God's Will." LMAO! Unless you are Native to this land-get off your high horse!!! Your sick delusions of your rights to this country vs. new immigrants rights to this country of immigrants are highly irrational. You reason–"It's okay for me to do it, and it was okay for my ancestors, but not for you or yours." A five year old has more intelligence than you.
I wonder if HOWARD ZINN would be able to convince Arizona.
I was raised in a medium sized city composed primarily of immigrants from Portugal, Poland and France. My grandparents generation was obviiously far wiser than those of today, as the goal of all was to assimilate into American society. They realized that to do otherwise was to simply create the very problems they were fleeing when they arrived in the U.S.
Are we supposed to be impressed with you? I think not. If others disagree with you they are wrong? That means you are always right. My goodness...all that education and you still HAVE A NARROW MIND. I guess it didn't do much for you. Now that education...how did you pay for it a freebee or student loans that you are in default for?
Janskor, Ghost will always start off his posts by detailing his education. He believes it makes him superior to others. But if he does have that education, he didn't actually learn much. He will never give you facts to support his arguements, he will call you racist if you disagree with him, and he will claim you make racist comments without ever quoting you.. But he is fun to mess with because he sooo easily lowers himself to name calling and slurs... :)
BIGOTS I don't even have to address you by name anymore. Stop hating on minorities just because we care about educating ourselves. So I made it past the crapy schools and the white bigots like you who tried to put me down, destroy my self-esteem, make me forget about my heritage, the bigots like you who want all minorities to remain un-educated so that you put us down. Yes, I am special, not because of ego, but because I made it. To minority students out there, keep on fighting, keep on studying, keep on dreaming, you will overcome this bigots, we will help you.
I, like millions of others came from here. Right in here in the USA. This means not matter what my race is I am a Native American. To teach one persective of history over another is damaging and only serves to divide us as a country. If you want to read about your race than go to the library or online as this is American history. My ancestors are all Dutch, you think I had Dutch American studies focusing only on the Dutch persective or hear only Dutch speakers or how the Dutch shaped this country. Of course not, I received a simple history of America show where all people came from to this country.
Except that you do not live in Holland...you live in America! So we all deserve American history and Mexicans were in Arizona FIRST! The Dutch were not. Of course Mexican history is the history of America. We had to kill them to build it. It is continuing the wrong to cut them out of American history. These things should be common knowledge, and they will not be if classes like these are cut. It's preposterous and racist.
@Carly there was no such people called Mexicans your ancestors are from Spain you need to research your history the native americans have always been here. Your ancesturs wreak more havoc and destroyed more civilizations on this planet than any other race. Does Incas, Aztecs, Mayans, and Tainos ring a bell. 500 years ago they were Spainards you are of a mix blood race with African and the native population and then you called yourselves Mexicans. Research your history it aint good. If anything your people committed genocide on the native population from Cuba, central America and South America.
Carly your people will never experience what black people experienced 50 years ago what the Mexicans want is instant citizenship as soon as they cross the border. It took people lynched, shot, terrorized, and oppressed for black people to get rights. And it took 400 years.
no yepyep we went through what you did its just that you whined and cried more than anyone else the chinease and latin americans we did the work and did LEGAL actions to get rid of rascism you cried and killed like animals. also we want to know our history not every mexican is illegal. Im 16 and am a mexican/irish american and i am proud of my history as a mexican a irish man and a american i want to learn about all sides of my history including my peoples slavery not just youre slavery
This is just a sad commentary of racist thought. I can't even believe these comments. I am 25 and I think our generation will be much more educated and less ignorant than the baby boomers. You are missing the point, yepyep. You are wrongwrong!
thank you carly and yes alot of us are alot more open minded about the good things and see things for what they are not anarrow minded view. unfortunatley people like yepyep are still aro8und in the school systerm and it scares me that some of these ignorant kids will be running the country in a few years
Remember when people came to this country to be Americans? Minus the hyphen? Remember the melting pot? Whatever happened to that? Having read about some of the lessons being taught from the "ethnic studies" classes, I would definitely agree with a ban on them. These classes are basically America-bashing, plain and simple. If you don't like it here, why did you come? If your old country is so much better, why would you stay here? This is simply another effort to divide us as AMERICANS, and I certainly do not approve.
you are retarded seriously?????
I disagree. We are still a melting pot but it never hurts to study where you came from. Everyone who is a citizen here now came from somewhere else. It's also true that there is a lot of historical fact which has been covered up and it's always good to understand what really happened to get us all to the point we inhabit today. White anglo-saxons (and I'm one of them) have done some really horrible things to minorities here and elsewhere just as we have done some brave and honorable things. Knowing about the bad things does not cancel out the good things. Both those things are a part of our cultural history. And remember: those who forget history are bound to repeat it.
You are wrong, I came from here. Right in here in the USA. This means not matter what my race is I am a Native American. To teach one persective of history over another is damaging and only serves to divide us as a country. If you want to read about your race than go to the library or online as this is American history. My ancestors are all Dutch, you think I had Dutch American studies focusing only on the Dutch persective or hear only Dutch speakers or how the Dutch shaped this country. Of course not, I received a simple history of America show where all people came from to this country.
Parkerman, You've confused me. Maybe you are confused. Are you Dutch or are you Native American? Do you understand these terms? The Dutch people did not come from American and therefore are not Native American. Did you mean to say you are both?
I agree. My father came from Sweden at age 7 in in 1928. He never spoke Swedish again. He was an AMERICAN. He translated for his parents until they learned English. He was fortunate enough to join the Air Force, flew commercial airlines when it was the best job in the world, and loved America all his life. I married a man with similar background to mine, half Swedish immigrant, yet when our daughter grew up in California, she asked me i kindergarten, after all the Cinco de Mayo and other celebrations, "When is Swedish Day, Mom?" And I had to tell her that we do not celebrate the contributions of the Swedes to the American way of life. It changed her entire way of thinking about her Latino friends. We are Americans, and we should celebrate all the cultures that make up our melting pot, or none of them. Learn your cultural heritage at home.
A person needs to educate himself first and find a way to earn decent money so that way its mind can open to a more broad subjects other than blame others for ones misery!!! Arizona is US indeed but with Spanish heritage
Wildblu, the problem with the "melting pot" is that it was a fantasy, not reality. Are you telling me that all people just "melt" right in? Well, I think you need to be more observant. The only way to change this country for the better is to face the ugliness within it, and fix our past mistakes. Our history isn't rosy, but that doesn't mean immigrants should "go back to where they came from" because they disagree with your oh so POSITIVE-LY BLIND perspective. BTW, you'd have a long voyage "home" compared to mine, if I were to turn the tables and advise you to go back to where you came from for disagreeing with me. Oh, what's that, this is your home? Well guess what, it's mine too, and we don't see the world in the same way, and that's okay with me. I see the good with the bad so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past. I don't have to PRETEND that everyone is the SAME. Learning about any group of people and how they see the world is EDUCATIONAL in my eyes. if you think we should all think alike, we may as well be robots and not think at all. One person could do the thinking for this entire country, and you could pick who that person'd be. You would like that, wouldn't you? Pretending that everything is okay, and that everyone gets along and sees the world in exactly the same way is silly, and dishonest at best.
Only the lousy affirmative action kids student these worthless courses anyway
All the smart latinos are learning about important things
Arizona's ACT scores are below national average... might want to enforce more math science and reading eh Tuscon... oh ya, and English.
I for one am for the Mexican-American Studies. Racism and hate is everywhere because people don't know, or understand history from other people's perspectives. I think Mexican-American teaches the students about history through a different lens, not just what's in an ordinary textbook. It creates a sense of knowing and these students are informed about U.S History. U.S history can be told through different perspective, and I think it's a great idea to teach them in a variety of lenses, not just one.
But these studies were not for White/Black American students. They were meant for Spanish speaking students only. The course material was not in English. To say we need these classes to help educate people is wrong. I learned all about the Spanish/American war, the Mexican people and the Spanish invasion of the tribes there, in History Class. I didnt any thing else to learn about where Americans came from, other than that their Home country was bad, and this country offered the best that they could achieve.
@SayIt yep Im just as much racist as those Mexican gangbahgers who target black people in L.A. except Im not killing Mexicans.
Will, Will, Will, I can tell, tell, tell, that you have no clue what you are talking about. Yes, the classes were for everyone; and yes, the course materials were in English. God forbid though, that students be taught in multiple languages; we don't want our kids running around bilingual or worse yet–trilingual!!! We wouldn't want to make you feel inferior, Will. You know, refugee students in TUSD often speak multiple langauges? Most of our American kids don't, and that's okay with you, right Will? Or are you okay with everything other than Spanish being taught in school? Just asking.
sorry thetypist the Mexicans didnt build this country black americans did. we have been here 400 years and my people endured force labor wiyhout pay. if we are going to have any type of study it should be black history and our history trumps the little history you have here besides the whiteman sending your a z z back across the border. Santa Anna got his A Z Z kicked. Tell you the truth the only thing Mexicans can talk about is Caesar Chavez THAT'S IT.
A black racist...ain't that somethin.
tyepyep do you proofread anything u are a terrible person who is racist twords anyone who isnt black because "YOU" suffered evem though "YOU" never experianced crap
@Rose where did you get that fairytale your people suffered slavery did those white liberals fill your little guacamole brain with that mush or was it La Raza or Lulac a mind is a terrible thing to waste they have already indocrinated you to believe in B U L L S H Y T. 16 years old and they have already phucked your mind up too bad you cant learn math and science, but they you lies and you believe in nothing, Probably you speak in broken english perhaps you will wake up and realize you are in the United States and not in your drug infested country called Mexico. See little rose nobody cares to know any history about mexican history because it is all insignificant to the average true blue america. You see my lttle frijole mexico is a border away and you can always go the same way you came in and that would be 1 down and millions to go. 16 years old and it is already too late to reel you back into reality. If all of you left ecept those who are here legally it would drastically cut the deficit in half.
I keep trying to post a comment about this article and CNN will post it. I didn't use profane language or anything inappropriate. However, I did say that teenagers did not have the intellectual skills necessary to read the books in this program and be able to judge maturely what is biased and how it is biased. Is that really a bad thing to say?
These courses are not world history courses. They are specialty courses that focus on the history of Mexicans and their offspring in the US. The problem with the courses is that they encourage students to separate and isolate themselves from mainstream America. They encourage students to view all white people as racists and they encourage students to always view themselves as victims. It is also often the case that they don't even teach historically accurate information. A case in point: most of these courses teach students that "Aztlan" the mythical homeland of the Aztecs was in the area that is now the modern US southwest. They use that as a justification for illegal immigration from Mexico in the present. Here's the problem: Aztlan never existed. There is no archaeological nor historical evidence for it. It's just a made up story used to support the idea that Mexican nationals have some kind of inherent right to immigrate to the US in violation of federal immigration laws. Students are brainwashed with these ideas. There is no critical questioning of the "facts" presented nor of the political ideas that are espoused. That's why these courses are bad. It's not that they are trying to censor teachers, nor permit students to learn. What they are trying to do is keep them from being brainwashed by old-style Chicano activists that want to overthrow the US, so that they can start a new nation or return the southwestern US to Mexico. Just for the record, I teach at a dual-language, i.e. bilingual school in New Mexico. In fact, I teach Spanish there. I think that these courses are questioned and prohibited because all they do is so division amongst young people.
And teaching from the white, male perspective isn't brainwashing and maintaining an order in which people of color maintain that they their experiences are not valid? And to also ignore oppression in the past and the oppression CURRENTLY that happens to these groups. Oh, and God forbid anyone recognizes that some white people are racist (including conciously and subconciously). History is not biased because it comes from the perspective of a group. Period. And if their books support illegal immigration, mainstream ones support the murder of native people and the REMAINING on their land.
Also, America is made up of different races and people. You can be American and respect your culture. Why must people of color ignore their culture to adopt yours? American culture if often described as white western culture. False.
I think maybe your heart is in the right place, but the way you voice your opinion promotes discord. Here is a quote: "History is not biased because it comes from the perspective of a group. Period. And if their books support illegal immigration, mainstream ones support the murder of native people and the REMAINING on their land." For one, the first sentence in this quote could be used by either side, it means nothing. Second, if you are going to make a claim that "their" books "support" murder, then list the book so we can all see for ourselves and protest against it. I would be very surprised if there actually is such a book. Try to be accurate and reasonable in your posts and you will win many more converts.. :)
I am currently the principal at a Dual Language School in Albuquerque, NM. I am very sad to hear this is happening in your school district. I was a child when my parents brought me to this country. I am from Mexico and back in the 80's crossing the border was not an issue as I lived along the border. It is amazing to me that schools would want to eliminate books that are culturally relevant for the student population they serve. We live in a nation of immigrants! People need to learn to respect that...and provide all students with an equal opportunity to learn. I personnally do not see anything wrong with history books written by different authors, let students read about it and decide who is right! We now live in this country anyway and we must follow the law regardless of what we read. So, I don't agree with this and hopefully they will change their minds...
create your own school that would be some good advice take it and run with it not on my tax dollars.
POINT 1- My folks came from Russia, but there is no 'Russian-American"studies. In fact there is no Slavic-American studies, Hmong-American studies, or Inuit-American Studies. Lets stop trying to mollify every ethnic group, and study those thing that will get our students a useful career. POINT 2- There is no law that says that these students cant read all about Mexican-Americans ON THEIR OWN TIME, OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL IF THEY'RE SO BLOODY CONCERNED ABOUT IT! Why does the school system have to do it all?

Need to teach hispanic kids about the importance of staying in school and out of gangs. Proof is in our cities so I need none to present. Please put these books and what is inside them up on the net so the ENTIRE COUNTRY can read what is in them. I have a good feeling they are RACIST and promote only Latinos. I am glad to not be white, black, hispanic, or asian. I AM AMERICAN . Nothing else. As for these Mexican/Americans, why let someone label you. If you are born in the USA, YOU ARE AMERICAN. If you want to claim being Mexican, go live there and earn your right. I see to many kids born here that promote Mexico over the USA without even knowing what Mexico is or about. THERE IS A REASON SO MANY HISPANICS FLOCK THEIR COUNTRY. If their country loved them, THEY WOULD STILL BE THERE.
Couldnt have said it better than that.
It seems that Asian kids and families have done pretty well in US w/o Asian Studies taught in High Schools. Hispanic kids in Tucson can learn Chicano Studies at Univ of AZ in Tucson or Pima CC. They need to concentrate on the 3 R's first.
Hey try to remember that Arizona is part of the United States of America. If these MEXICANS want to learn Mexican history let them cross the border, go home, and enroll in a Mexican school.
The Spanish/Mexican took the land from the Native Americans.....now we have it and the dumbocrats will let them take it back peacefully unless we stand up....get your heads out and look at reality for a change!!!!
you mean your reality???? no thanks!!!
What amount of ignorance for most of the comments!!!! Ring a bell? The New Spain....................Before Mexico was the richest Imperial land ever on the world and Arizona was part of it!!!
Just because some Spaniards rode up here and stuck a flag in the ground doesn't make this their country. The Mexicans have a weak claim to this land. They had about a hundred guys huddled up in a fort in Tucson too afraid to come out because the Apaches would cut them to pieces.
I wonder if Goyathlay, Mangas Coloradas, Cochise and the rest of the Apaches thought they were living in Mexico, because I'm pretty sure they didn't. The Navajos, Pimas and Yaquis didn't think they were living in Mexico. For that matter, I'm pretty sure the Comanches, Kiowa and Kickapoo didn't think they were living in Mexico, or Texas, either. So, enough with the B.S. claims about this being Mexico. From California to Texas there were a few thousand Mexican farmers and ranchers that never subdued the native population, and lost a war to the U.S. It was never really a stronghold of Mexican property. More Mexicans live here now than they ever did prior to 1990.
Um..I think it did. Spaniards and Mexicans DID own parts of the US before we aquired it. Someone needs a history lesson.
you didnt own S H Y T
This is not Mexico, we are Americans not Mexican-american.You want mexican in your name move to mexico.
Being a Master's student who works in one of the most prestigious colleges in the nation, I can tell you that you are full of bull****. Can someone please get rid of these trolls who don't know how to take their keyboards off caps lock.
In response to " MLatino " I agree and concur with " JOSE031USMC . With out question in the South West part of the United States the Latino culture is a gem and only gives to our nation . However, this may be voiced with many ethnic and diverse groups in the United States , be they European , South American , Afro America ALL cultures have provided that special ingredient that makes America .
With out a question to learn about Native Americans , Europeans and Latinos and how they all contributed to the American experiment is wonderful ! However , we must have a time and place to address this cultural cross pollination.
Our children and young adults MUST LEARN how to provide and develop in their life time . They NEED the academic subject matter , Trades or Crafts that will provide for their loved ones .
Any subject matter that addresses a particular ethnic population must be taken in context with other ethnic groups that departed their native lands to seek promise in the New World , or as in the case of Black Americans were sold into slavery with no choice . On all the European Settlers, African Slaves , Native Americans , Asians, Latinos etc they built this great land ..I as an American am free today ,better today by all the generations that toiled , suffered , died in combat be they white , black , native American , Latino . Those that came before us provided a nation , not perfect , but a place where there is hope and a man or women can make a go of it ...
Yes, have Latino Studies ...but we have much ground to cover ......
Sorry devil, but been a usmc vet myself I think that is the incorrect way to approach this issue. There is plenty and I do emphasize the word PLENTY of Mexican Americans, Chicanos and other Latinos already in the labor workforce. These kids like everyone in this nation should be able to have the chance to dream big and not settle for the same occupations that their parents are currently employed in. I won't call you an idiot for having your CAP LOCKS on as I understand this is a CNN comment box and no one gives a F***, but denying the curriculum to these children specially in a geographical location such as Arizona is complete BS. The land was Mexico, part of Aztlan. That to me makes the difference of teaching Chicano Studies from teaching European history. With the knowledge the children have obtain they also get the motivation to pursue higher learning at some of the best universities (such as the guy who insulted you). BTW: I study Latin American Studies at a University.
But if this was a school teaching white children about whites (be it jewish, irish, russian, english etc).. the story and article would be about how they need to get with the times and remove the class because its racisist. The comments would be angry at why these classes were allowed in the schools, and how dare they have them. Just a year ago, some girl in the Tuscon school system tried to have a "White" club because she felt left out because there was a Mexican, a Black, club that were for those kids only. But when she tried to get a White club she was threatened with suspension. People forget this because she was white and she was deemeed a racist. I wish this country would grow up and stop this bigotry but these type of classes are keeping it alive. When all these kids here is how bad their race has it vs all the rest they continoue the steryotype that the white man is the problem. Its like the Jews and WW2. The Holocaust was horrible, and yet you never here them mention that along with the 6million jews put to death in the Gas chambers, over 14million Russians were also killed. Most of them in Camps as well. The American Indians were forced to be American. They didnt want to be and they fought it. and because they had claims to the places before everyone else they eventually won that freedom to have their own schools and to keep their culture alive. Mexicans can not win that here, because Mexicans did not own this land before America, therefore we dont need to bend to their needs. They have their own country and can go back if they dont want to change. And people need to stop with the whole mexico owned the southern us crap. The french owned the northern states and so did English but if they were crossing a border into the US they wouldnt be claiming its their right because they once owned the land. Illegal Aliens are a plague and like a plague it needs to be stopped. The US millitary should have a shoot first policy like all other countries have when protecting the borders. I for one, would not be saddened if they placed Gatling guns every 50feet and killed every human being that crossed. Eventually there would be enough bodies to scare anyone from crossing.
Arizona WAS Mexico until 1863. Chicanos were there first.
Actually do your history....American Indians were there first..
The Mexicans, which are a Spanish/Indian Mix killed and took over most of the Indian tribes in the area. Only since America has taken it over and then federally reconized those tribes have they gotten some of their land back.
Need to teach hispanic kids about the importance of staying in school and out of gangs. Proof is in our cities so I need none to present. Please put these books and what is inside them up on the net so the ENTIRE COUNTRY can read what is in them. I have a good feeling they are RACIST and promote only Latinos.

that was over a hundred years ago. Let the mexicans win a war (any) agains the US, then they can try to take the land. FACT, we won the wars(s) for this land. Fact it is our (american) land. Fact, the mexicans are bairly a people anyway. Fact let them clean up mexico before we give any aid to any mexicans.
i researched this s h y t in college you had no right to this land it was spain as conquitadors and explorers who claim land they had no rights too, it has always been native american. infact this side of the world from Canada down to South America all the way to cuba was inhabited by native indians.
Will, how can you say American indians where there first? You should take a class in history. Did you know the almighty aztecs came from this region. Except it was during a time that it wasnt yet ruled by the Spanish conquistadors. We can say they were American indians because in reality breaking down the context of American would be hard enough.
Im an Anthropologist and you really dont know history if you belive that American Indians came after. The Natives traveled south from the Land Bridge that connected Alaska and Siberia 15000years ago. These people traveled and settled the Americas and eventaully made it to Central America and South America. The American Indians were the ancestors of these peoples. Aztecs/Mayans and all the other peoples are all ancestors of the American Indians Known as the Clovis and earlier groups. The aztecs did not come about as a tribe until the 6th century AD. when they moved from Northern Mexico to southern Mexico. Their empire never really reached into America. Its rumored and there are theorys that the original people who would become Aztec were from the souther Texas area, But no evidence has really supported this. The true peoples of Texas and Arizona were not Aztec from all evidence found, point that this area was inhabited by the Mogollon tribe which had lived there since the 1st century. Please, actually do your homework and learn your history before commenting.
Being African American I agree with what you're saying. Why should we continue to teach racism by having these types of classes and clubs? I am so SICK and tired of TUCSON complaining. I lived there for a long time and they need to get with the times! They have a old way of thinking and their mentality is SOOOOO behind! TUCSON cross over to 2012!
@Will regardless of where native americans migrated to or from they were here before the Spainards so what are you going to say Mexicans were native to this land. So your argument dont hold p i s s. THERE WERE NO SUCH PEOPLE CALLED MEXICANS 500 YEARS AGO you are of mixed blood idiot. Do you know what the word N-A-T-I-V-E means they were already here.
Mexicans are a mix blood of Spanish and Native's from the area, they typically are of aztec decent. Because they are of mixed blood. The fact that most these "Mexicans" are of mix blood means that none of them can claim the land as ancestral home. Much like me having Mix Cherokee I can not claim any lands they controlled because I am too far removed. These people who keep claiming that they are just taking back their home shows they dont even know where their ancestors are even from since history shows that most Mexicans claim that they are part of a tribe that if they did their history is from central and southern not northern Mexico. IF these people were claiming to be of the Mogollon tribe they would have a claim but these idiots dont even know their own history.
@Will, I agree with most of what you said. But keep in mind that the term Mexican-American studies is a misnomer. From most of those books, several of which I own, They are about the "mixed" bloods you mentioned, NOT mexican history. My family has lived in Colorado and New Mexico going back over thousands of years on my native side and over 500 years on my spanish side. What those books are doing, all they are doing is giving an interpretation of history from the viewpoint of the mestizo people (ie. mixed blood). All through my child hood I learned about the pilgrims, the the waves of immigrants coming from Ireland, England, France, Spain, etc... And all the while looking at these approved lessons and wondering...."Where do I fit in?" The only colored/dark people who came over were slaves. being about 80% native I can honestly say that my family was NEVER part of the nice american history taught in school. When asking my grandmother about this, and about MY history, she handed me '500 Years of Chicano History in Pictures' and 'OccupiedAmerica: A History of Chicanos'. And told me that this is the only written history of our people, the rest was destroyed through the intentional and partially accidental genocide of our people. All i'm saying is it'd be nice for my children to sit in history classes and not feel left out of American history. We had to fight for our rights, even using violence sometimes. It worries me to think that these people in Arizona are so afraid of the truth, whats next, take any evidence of slavery out of history, perhaps gloss over the racial hatred that the 1950's encompassed? Yes, we need to keep curriculum age appropriate, yes we need to not radicalize our youth. but when the truth becomes radical, those who protect and seek the truth must in turn become radicals.
wish people could see it like that!!!!! and A to the MEN on that too!!!!
Maybe a good way to promote what you want is to work to ensure that it is part of an American Hisory course. One that all feel welcome in. I think that when you start labling courses after certain ethnic groups you are intentionally, or unintentionally, telling everyone that this course is for them only, That promotes discord.
KELLY You promote discord. What are you going to suggest next? That we stop learning how to read because we might come across an idea that makes you look less like a bigot? So sad for you, I praid for you this weekend at church.
Well said !
Really??? I remember our history classes being all about the the European races. When were they not? Do you even have a clue what you are talking about?
It´s obvious you don´t have a sense of what life is.. right? Shot at sight?!?! Plague?!?! Calling plague to a HUMAN BEEN?!?!?!
Imperialism... oh boy. Get a grip. I dont see any gladiator contests to the death with slaves named Spatacus nor do I see a loss of rights as in India when the Brits arrived and Hong Kong. I see that we gave Europe back to the Europeans after winning the war and gave Iraq back to the Iraqis when we could have kept their oil as spoils of war. Is that imperialism or is the actual type of imperialism the cultural one wherein KFC is distributed around the globe as well as Jeans that show the buttocks and hang down while a guy crosses his arms and makes funny mouth noises. That has managed to get on just about every TV music station in the world from the Mid East to Russia. What a culture.... cant read, never saw the ballet , dont know who Ghalen is but boy can we hit those plastic drums on the corner.
good. now what should they teach ? teach a trade that can help young kids get a real job. like plumbing-roofing-electrical-
The American Indians were forced to speak english and were beaten if they spoke their native language. It's high time America did that to all of the Immigrants. And if they don't want to speak english send them packing to the country they and their families came from.
yeah, lets just repeat the atrocities to force conformity. what a schmuck!
agreed, try going to mexico (out side of tourist towns) and try to speak english, you will be f-ed.
so how many times have the "f-ed" you up???? you probably never even been!!! I have and they are badasses for trying to understand!!!!! Never once did i get "f-ed" up
inbred???? most likely huh??? damn racist!!!! thank god im educated :)
Yeah, your posts sure make you sound educated..
KELLY blames minorities because we want to improve ourselves and she can't get beyond her ignorance. She didn't go to college, so she wants to stop minorities from having an education. It that what you are about Kelly? Once again, I give you a chance to speak up against injustice and racism in Arizona? Are you finally going to do it or are you goint to try to disqualify my oppostion to what white radicals do to minorities just because you can't get over your denial of what is going in on in our country today?
Yes indeed, those ethnic studies classes will surely help my family members obtain employment. Maybe focus upon language skills, proper assemblage of a CV (duh , what's a CV?) attain proficiency in mathematics and science as there is presently and a forecast shortage of engineers and other hard-science or mathematical based positions. Whoops, might be too difficult. Instead it is easier by far to teach soft classes in the humanities and social (or socialist) studies and hand out "feel good" positive reinforcement grades with grade inflation. Ah, how I miss the greatest generation and their lack of whining , simply win the war and win the peace afterwards with the GI bill but stop the feel good non-sense.
LOL... guess you forgot that it was under the GI Generation that liberalism and multicultural studies came about. This is not new.
@Jose these colleges are graduating community activists somebody has to take up the slack when the U.S. ranks 35th in world when it comes to math and sciences.
the baby boombers are by far the worst gen of americans EVER
You don't even know who they are- "mickey"

Predicting behavioral intentions and physical exercise: a test of the health action process approach at the intrapersonal level. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19916638 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
OBJECTIVE: Theories of health behavior are usually tested on the between-person level. Associations between variables on the between- and the within-person level, however, can differ substantially. Thus, in order to better understand intrapersonal processes in the domain of health behavior, studies applying within-person analyses are needed. This study tested the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) on the within- and between-person level in the context of physical exercise. DESIGN: Participants were 265 first-year students who completed nine online questionnaires every second week. Data were analyzed by focusing on intrapersonal associations applying multilevel modeling. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Intentions for physical exercise and self-reported physical exercise served as main outcome measures. RESULTS: Analyses mainly confirm associations specified by the HAPA at the intrapersonal level: outcome expectancies and self-efficacy, but not risk awareness, were positively associated with intentions for physical exercise. Physical exercise in turn was positively associated with intentions, self-efficacy, action control, but not with action planning. CONCLUSION: The HAPA could be confirmed on the within-person level. Future studies should focus on testing other theories of health behavior at the within-person level. |

Housing Trust Fund
The Housing Trust Fund, or "HTF," is administered by the Arizona Department of Housing. It has provisions for homeless shelters, emergency response to fire closures, health and safety repairs for the elderly and disabled, and homeownership opportunities. The Arizona League of Cities and Towns was opposed to the proposed $10.2 million dollar reduction in funds for the HTF program.
Economic development
- Introduced by Flagstaff, Willcox, Buckeye, Queen Creek, Yuma
The Arizona League of Cities and Towns was for increased Arizona state funds to be dispersed to localities for the purpose of strengthening local economies. This is because it believed that local Arizona economies were weak because:
- State and international competition
- Cost of living as compared to average wages
- A lack of economic tools
- A lack of strong state funding
It supported programs like the Government Property Lease Excise Tax and funds for offering job training.
Local involvement in liquor licensing
- Introduced by Prescott Valley, Scottsdale, Cottonwood, Phoenix, Bullhead City, Kingman
In order to address concerns such as:
- Crime,
- Noise violations,
- Parking issues,
the Arizona League of Cities and Towns wanted to require the Department of Liquor Licenses and Control, and the State Liquor Board, to give greater consideration to city recommendations on proposed liquor licenses.
Examples they gave of policies they would support:
- Cities should have the ability to request a hearing on the renewal of a liquor license that residents of that city may oppose.
- In the chance that the municipality wants to deny a request, but the board wants to pass it, a 12 month permit will be issued in the place of a license renewal.
- The League wants licenses to include bar parking lots and liquor store parking lots.
- The League wants to "Hold license applicants accountable to commitments made during the application process."
- Seats would be created in the State Liquor Board for a municipal law enforcement representatives.
- The "municipality's concerns regarding the owner/manager" of a business requesting a license or renewal will be strongly weighted, particularly when these concerns are supported by "factual research" and show poor past performance.
Costs: The League predicted the costs would be negative for the town, as it would lead to increased safety and a need for fewer enforcement resources.
State statutes on request proposals
- Introduced by Prescott, Prescott Valley, Bullhead City
When a town prepares to solicit professional services, it creates a Request for Proposal/Statement of Qualitifcations (RFP/SOQ). Currently, state law does not permit cities and towns to request a price range for service fees, which results in a city negotiating with a firm for weeks to find out that service fees of the firm exceed the budgeted amount for services. After rejecting the firm for this reason, the selection process begins anew. The League of Cities and Towns believed this results in increased costs passed on to city residents.
Physician attraction and retention
- Introduced by Sierra Vista, Flagstaff, Huachuca, Willcox, Douglas, Bisbee, Benson, Oro Valley, Prescott
The League strongly supported the implementation of the 2006 Governor's Emergency Medical Services Access Task Force recommendations to address Arizona's shortage of physicians. These included:
- Increasing Graduate Medical Education funding
- Making medical school capacity greater in state universities
- Making Arizona more attractive to out of state physicians, and retaining them
- Lessening the obstacles to medical practice in Arizona
- A focus on any other major issues that influence a physician's decision to practice in Arizona.
Uniform property tax assessment
- Introduced by Sedona, Camp Verde
Affordable housing programs in Arizona use deed-restriction to limit the price at which homes can be resold. Current policy allows individual county assessors to individually decide which method to use when assessing properties. This lack uniformity can lead to owners losing money on their homes to the point where they become unaffordable. The League was in support of a uniform property tax assessment methodology for this reason.
Cost of public records requests
- Introduced by Prescott, Prescott Valley, Bullhead City
The League wanted an amendment to Title 38 to provide additional funds for public records requests "in excess of 100 pages of documents, or those which involve substantial amounts of research, location, and assembly time by city staff, [or involve] in excess of one hour of staff time," and asked that these be billed at the actual costs of the clerical and staff time involved in processing the request.
Anti-drug grant
- Introduced by Cottonwood, Prescott, Chino Valley, Camp Verde
The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant, or Byrne/JAG, is a partnership among federal, state, and local governments to fund Partners Against Narcotics Trafficking and other anti-drug and anti-gang programs.
Immigration reform
- Introduced by Prescott, Prescott Valley
The Arizona League of Cities and Towns was asking for increased federal focus on solving problems that arise from illegal immigration. Specifically:
- The creation of a guest worker program
- Increased border security
- Reimbursement to localities for enforcement of federal immigration mandates
- Public information on the problems caused by illegal immigration
The League supported stricter penalties for graffiti crimes, the cost of which burdens private owners and public property. Graffiti crime was expected to cost the City of Phoenix $4 million in removal costs in FY09, for example.
City and county wastewater emergencies
Currently, city and county governments can enter into agreements with each other, but not with private utilities and before any services are required. Arizona law prohibits local governments from entering into agreements with private utilities related to emergency water or wastewater, and the League proposed to change that.
Nonpartisan local elections signature requirements
- Introduced by Scottsdale, Chandler
Candidates for City Council in at-large cities must collect valid signatures equal to five-percent of the total number of votes cast in the previous mayoral election. This creates a higher threshold for cities with high voter turnout as compared to a similar sized city with a low voter turnout. The League wanted to allow municipalities to decide whether they want to use existing signature requirements, or cap them.
Publishing government documents online
- Introduced by Yuma, Quartzsite, Apache Junction Nogales, Flagstaff, Paradise Valley
In Arizona, there are 26 statutes that require cities and towns to publish notices, agendas, financial reports, and other official documents, some of which require specific font types and size. These documents currently need to be published in a newspaper with general circulation and a substantial audience. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns supported a change in policy which would allow the documents to be published online, positing that this would be cheaper, more accessible, and more convenient for the consumer and the local government.
There are five major military installations across Arizona, and these are Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Army Intelligence Center & Fort Huachuca, Luke Air Force Base, Yuma Army Proving Grounds and Marine Corp Air Station - Yuma. These provide economic strength, according to the League, which wanted to continue the funding and support for the following legislative successes:
- "enhanced notification requirements of proposed development in the vicinity of military airports;"
- "heightened disclosure on the sale of land within the vicinity of military airports;"
- "a chart of compatible land uses within high noise and accident potential zones;"
- "sound attenuation standards for development near military airports;"
- "statutes prohibiting natural gas storage facilities within nine miles of military airports;"
- "zoning protections around auxiliary fields to mirror those around primary military airports;"
- "a "Military Installation Fund" used to buy land near bases or finance infrastructure improvements;"
- "notification to potential homebuyers under military training routes of military activity overhead."
Collective bargaining
- Introduced by the League Staff, approved by the resolutions subcommittee
The League of Arizona Cities and Towns opposed federal efforts to require cities and towns to follow federally mandated collective bargaining standards, specifically the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2007.
IRS pension reform rules
- Introduced by the League Staff, approved by the resolutions subcommittee
The IRS has not responded to comments which it requested on its Final Regulations in the Federal Register, regarding distributions from a pension plan and what "normal retirement age" consists of. The League of Arizona Cities and Towns opposed the elimination of "age plus years of service" formulas in public pension plans.

Date of Stay: May, 2013 - $18.00
Nice campground with level concrete slabs and level.The rate is senior rate.We only stayed here cause it's the only on listed for Okmulgee. The road in is narrow and winding up and down hill.You have to go through Okmulgee Lake State park to get here and they have several RV sites that are water and electric. I would have stayed there if I knew. Save some driving on narrow roads. It is a nice park but I would stay in the closer one. We camped at Dripping Springs State Park in a Fifth Wheel.
Date of Stay: August, 2010 - $20.00
We enjoyed this campground very much. The sites were all nicely paved and level. They were good sized and very easy in/out sites. It is rather remote and secluded, so therefore was pretty peaceful. The lake is a bass fishing lake so the boat traffic was minimal. There is a fishing dock and a nice sandy swimming beach/day use area. And there is a nice group RV area. The dump station was conveniently located and easy to access. Okmulgee State Park was only 3 miles away. The scenery here was beautiful and they had some very nice hiking/nature trails. The bathrooms/showers at our camp ground were clean but were really not within walking distance of our campsite. Otherwise our stay here was great!! We will camp here again. We camped at Dripping Springs State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: August, 2009 - $30.00
Really nice park. We paid a bit more to get a premium site that was on a point overlooking the lake. It was picturesque. We stayed here in early August over a weekend and it was deserted. The manager told us that the schools in the area were already back in session at that time. We were only passing through for 1 night but would definitely come back for a longer stay to take advantage of the lake and marina. Clean, well maintained park. We camped at Dripping Springs State Park in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: July, 2009 - $12.00
This is a Corp of Engineers park that has been in service for several years. Although the park is well maintained, the majority of pads are designed for shorter rigs than my combined length of 53'. It is not particularly convenient to anything but the lake. Regular week days the park is quiet and relaxing. On the weekend tenters and families with children converge and then it can be a little less relaxing. (However the staff and Rangers do keep a good patrol going.) The vast majority of campers at this site are basically local due to its location. Since it is not overly far from home base, we might stay there again for a little get-away location. The dump station is convenient and easy to get in and out of. We camped at Dripping Springs State Park in a Fifth Wheel.
We stayed at the park for three days. The park was clean and not crowded together. Plenty
of shade trees. The main restroom was clean. The other restroom was more primitive. Both were clean. The camp host was very pleasant. A swimming area was at the North end of the campground. A small store is approx: 1 mile north. A well thought out dump station is at the exit. Very clean. Fishing is also a plus for the kids at the fishing dock. All sites were level and covered in a small pea type packed gravel. We camped at Dripping Springs State Park in a Travel Trailer.

Looking for best, reasonably priced Steak in Nashville, Tn My birthday is coming up and wanted to try something new and different outside of the norm "chain" places. I'm thinking Demo's might be nice for a reasonably priced steak, but if anyone knows of something better that is not necessarily in a "bar type" setting where the crowd level tends to be "noisy", please let me know. Thanks! |
That's a great way to look at it. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for your comment. |
So, is it something you make yourself? Or is it available somewhere? Thanks for your help. |
Favorite Cup of Coffee Brewed Yourself Thank you for the heads up. I try many different flavors, but I tend to keep going back to MillStone's Swiss Chocolate Almond. Anyone else like MillStone? |
Where would I get this cleansing drink or it's recipe? Thanks for your reply. |
Thank you for your reply. It's very helpful. |
Favorite Cup of Coffee Brewed Yourself What is your most favorite cup of coffee that you are able to brew yourself? I am looking for a medium roast mocha flavored coffee much like Starbuck's without Starbuck's prices. I don't have a press nor a grinder. Just something to brew with maybe some additives such as cream, flavor etc. Any suggestions on what is good out there? Thanks for your help. |
I'm trying to lose some weight. |
Hi! Anyone have a good regimine for a 3 day liquid diet? Any suggestions/advice on this? Thanks to anyone who would want to take time out to reply. Sherry |

Has anyone built or bought a pull type spray unit to pull behind an ATV
(4x4 four wheeler)
We were given a nice Polaris and do not really want to put a sprayer on the ATV, so we could use it for other applications. Thought a pull behine would work better. Possibly 30-50 gallons of water.

Whatever your budget, whatever size room, integrating a home theatre system into your space can be a design challenge. Too often we associate big screen TVs with sports, beer and warn-out recliners. If you like watching TV and curling up on the couch to watch a movie, then embrace your home theatre and get ready to tackle this decorating dilemma.
We asked Kevin Andrews, the product manager for consumer electronics at Sharp, for the latest tips on what to consider when shopping or installing a new home theatre system. Follow his guidelines and the only thing you and your family will be fighting over is the remote!
1 Buy the right size TV for your space
A simple guideline is to multiply the dimension of the TV you are considering by two and a half to find the best viewing distance. If you have a 42-inch TV, place your couch about nine feet back.
2 Mount the television on the wall
Think about hiring a professional to mount the TV and go the extra mile by having them hide all the wires in the wall. Not only will this save space, but you also won't be staring at 15 wires running around the contour of your room.
3 Pick the best spot in the room for your TV
With today's picture quality, you no longer need to place your TV out of direct light. Sharp TVs, for example, absorb 98.5 percent of the light and virtually eliminate any glare. Choose the spot you thing works best in your room and avoid having the television be the first thing you see when you walk in.
4 Is black really the only option?
Some models on the market do come in different colours, but as Kevin explains, consumer research shows that we find black TVs to be the most appealing. We have seen silver TVs come and go, but now piano black finishes offer a sophisticated look that complements most rooms.
5 Look for TVs that have an angled edge
The picture frame design has a reflective quality and helps pick up the paint colour on your wall,
Shopping - Technology
